Reference for Avodah Zarah 33:15

אמר אין הדבר תלוי אלא בי הניח ראשו בין ברכיו וגעה בבכיה עד שיצתה נשמתו יצתה בת קול ואמרה ר"א בן דורדיא מזומן לחיי העולם הבא [והא הכא בעבירה הוה ומית] התם נמי כיון דאביק בה טובא כמינות דמיא

He said: The matter then depends upon me alone! He placed his head between his knees, he wept aloud until his soul departed. Then a heavenly was heard proclaiming: “Rabbi Eleazar b. Dordai is destined for the life of the world to come!” Now, here was a case of a sin [other than minut] and yet he did die! In that case, too, since he was so addicted to [fornication] it is as [if he had been guilty of] minut.
